Genesis Global builds AI-ready software exclusively for capital markets, delivering tailored solutions on a standardized architecture that accelerates AI integration with financial guardrails. The company provides purpose-built solutions for business, AI tools for builders, and agentic-by-design frameworks for firms adopting real-world AI.
You will own the platforms, infrastructure, and delivery pipelines that enable Genesis to ship software securely and reliably for clients from development through production systems. This is a senior leadership role with global remit spanning regional DevOps teams. You will report to the Executive Vice President of Engineering, build and lead the DevOps function, set standards for all engineering teams, and be accountable for reliability, security, and cost transparency across a large multi-region cloud estate.
Key responsibilities include:
- Owning and evolving DevOps strategy, translating it into a business-plannable roadmap
- Owning shared cloud infrastructure, tooling, and delivery pipelines used by all engineering teams
- Building and leading a DevOps function spanning multiple regions, standardizing practices
- Ensuring infrastructure meets security and compliance requirements (e.g., SOC 2) and providing evidence
- Providing the business clear, reliable visibility into infrastructure costs attributed by client and project
- Building a self-service platform enabling engineering teams to provision, build, and ship independently
- Line-managing and growing your team, including hiring as the function scales
- Owning incident response and post-incident reviews for shared infrastructure issues
You will stay technical enough to review architecture credibly and make sound decisions, but this is fundamentally a leadership role focused on multiplying team output rather than shipping code yourself. Some travel to the UK office is expected but not extended absences.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Senior leadership experience owning a DevOps or platform function, ideally spanning multiple teams or regions
- Genuine track record of line-managing engineers with real accountability for their performance and development
- Strong technical judgment to assess whether team architecture is correct and raise concerns early
- Significant hands-on background building and running large-scale production systems on AWS and/or GCP (networking, IAM, compute, managed Kubernetes, CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code)
- Experience running a cloud estate subject to external audit (e.g., SOC 2) with real cost visibility
- Clear communication skills explaining architectural trade-offs to technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Familiarity with containerization and Kubernetes at a level to credibly review team architecture decisions
NICE TO HAVE:
- Experience leading DevOps or platform function across multiple countries or regions
- Background in client-facing or regulated services environment
- AWS Certified DevOps Engineer or AWS Certified Solutions Architect certifications
